'My new Uzbek family are generous, caring, giving people and I am proud to be part of what is to me a wonderful new world. I feel very blessed and look forward to our life together as husband and wife.'

He tweeted: 'Our large families arriving in Portugal today, getting married Saturday, Uzbek party Sunday, UK Election Wed. What an exciting week.'

A source close to Duncan’s family said: ‘It is going to be a big wedding. His six children will all be there.’

But one person very unlikely to attend is his second wife, Joanne McCue, whom the tycoon – worth a cool £175 million – labelled a ‘gold-digger’ after their 2013 divorce. He split from first wife Gail Brodie in 1994.
